Concert Club in Ohio

I am looking to start a small concert club in Lakewood, Ohio. I am a musician
and have a lot of experience in performing and hosting concert events. I also
have an MBA.
However, I would greatly appreciate any and all advice on beginning this
process and ideas for securing additional funding, etc.
The wisdom of this group would be greatly appreciated.

The first thing you need to do is start researching and writing your business
plan. Once you start looking at each section in detail you will know if this
is a viable business for you.

Once you have the financials created you will know how much funding you will
require and then you will know how to proceed with searching for the right
type of funding.

Having experience with hosting events might be helpful. But usually for SBA
backed bank loans they like to see actual management experience within your
chosen industry. It still might not be a deal breaker though, so don't let
that stop you from proceeding.

And the MBA might be helpful depending on your field of study.

For more detail about startup steps and funding options (and of course step
by step direction with the business plan) see below.
